iPhone app BackcountrySOS

Even with the best preparation, skills and behavior, sometimes accidents happen.
If they do, BackcountrySOS is a simple-to-use smartphone app that allows you to quickly get your status and location information to emergency personnel.

Low power.
It will only use your phones GPS for the brief period where it fetches your location.

High contrast.
The app is easy to read in bright sunlight, and wont kill your vision at night.

No setup.
You dont need to setup an account or login.
If its on your phone, the app is ready to use when you need it.

Data efficient.
The app works as long as you have enough signal to squeeze out a text message.
It will work in places where you cant get data access or make a voice call.

Private.
Information about you is stored only on your device, not on a central server.
You control what information is sent when sending an SOS message.

The app works wherever text-to-911 service is available.
Almost 1,500 counties support text-to-911 with more added each month.
Additionally, a growing list of first-responders specifically monitor for BackcountrySOS communication.
If youd like your search-and-rescue region added to the app, please contact us.

Free access to the BackcountrySOS app is made possible by the generous support of the Teton County Search & Rescue Foundation as part of their BackcountyZero project.
